Husthwaite Village

The Great Get Together

"While we celebrate our diversity, what surprises me time and time again as I travel around the constituency is that we are far more united and have far more in common than that which divides us."Jo Cox

"Jo Cox always loved a good party. Let's honour her with a massive celebration of Britain's diversity and unity" Brendan Cox

In honour of Jo Cox and what she believed in, the Village Hall have arranged an afternoon of events where we hope ALL of the village can meet up over afternoon tea and join in the celebrations.

Village Photograph 2.00pm

This will take place near the Village Green where we hope to get a comprehensive photographic record of everyone who lives in the village

The Great Bread Bake Off 2.30pm

Jack Amos and Ashley Welsh of "Amos & Welsh", who deliver superb artisan bread to the village will explain their story, bread making skills and invite people to sample some of their wares.

Villagers who make their own bread are invited to bring some and have it judged anonymously and kindly by them.
